title: [Study of the use of antiulcer and hypolipemic drugs in the Primary Care District of Jerez (Cádiz)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify the prescription profile for anti-ulcerous and hypolipemic drugs during the three-year period 1994-1996 in the Jerez Primary Care district, and the differences in prescription between the reformed (Health Centres) and the unreformed networks (non-hospital clinics).
  
  
  METHODS
  Longitudinal, retrospective study, out of a complete sample.
  
  
  METHODS
  Primary Care.
  
  
  METHODS
  Total number of general medical consultations.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The first quarter of each year was studied. Dose per 1,000 inhabitants per day (DID) was the indicator. Consumption of anti-ulcer drugs grew from 11.43 DID in 1994 to 15 in 1996 (31.23%). In the reformed network, consumption grew from 10.25 to 13.26 DID (29.37%); and in the non-reformed, from 12.56 to 16.72 DID (33.12%). Hypolipemic use went up from 8 DID in 1994 to 10.32 in 1996 (29%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Anti-ulcer and hypolipemic drug use increased over the study period. Both consumption and increases were lower in Health Centres. Increase in statin use led to a light decline in fibrate use in the reformed network, but not in non-hospital clinics.
